I'm done. I'm over the word count (by about 100) but I don't care. I cannot believe I left it to the last minute. 20 hours I spent this weekend. 20 hours!! I have barely eaten today. I had yum cha frozen stuff about 2 or 3 hours ago and juice all day. That's it.

It's now 12.21 AM and my eyes are tired from looking at this screen all day. The only rest I've had was to put Sons of Anarchy on the tele at 8.30 and even then I was still doing my assignment. It was such a beautiful weekend and I didn't even leave the house. I sat outside today for a bit in the sun - doing my assignment. I so hope Easter is good weather because I've missed out. Not that I'm complaining - I'm not. I just hate not enjoying the sunshine when it's there to be enjoyed. It won't last long.

Sleepy time. Urgh... work tomorrow. Blegh.

I had really fucked up dreams this morning.

I was in an Eastern European country (maybe Croatia?), it was night time and we were looking for somewhere to eat. Something local. We went into the restaurant and were walking down a corridor that was painted light blue. It was my mum, my nanna and myself. Then mum and nanna were in this room off the corridor and the man who was leading us grabbed me around my waist and tried to shut the door on mum and nanna and I'm kicking against the wall and trying to pull on the door to save myself. I get taken away.

Another part of the dream I'm in some compound with high walls and there's someone else with me. Maybe it was Rach. We're trying to escape. I manage to get over the wall and run into town and try and find a cafe that the bad men won't think I've gone into. Rach comes out afterwards (but she's got long black hair and is in a long bathrobe). I grab her and we run into this posh eatery place. The men are still out looking for us.

We run out into the streets and there's white mini vans taking tourists around the traps. We jump in (or at least I'm in the van). I start asking where the van is taking people... it's full of women.. they say it goes out into the mountains... I try to get out... I don't want to go to the mountains it's too far away. I ask if the women are going to be used as sex slaves... yes... but they don't mind. I jump out of the moving van.

There was also one scene where I was a swimming pool and I had to race. I was in the water after everyone else and behind. I couldn't use both of my arms to swim freestyle like normal and then breathe so I had to swim with my head under the water the whole time - magically I was breathing underwater (only in dreams).

21 Jump Street is on the tele.

Where's my Johnny Depp?

Good looking, intelligent, impeccable dress sense, funny, loves music and the arts, great personality blah blah blah.

Fuck I have too many words for my assignment. Somehow Ive hit 1547. 2000 ain't enough! Eeep!!

Study time.

Lesson learned. NEVER procrastinate over an essay again. I am too far behind. Marathon effort required tonight and tomorrow.

I can do it though.

I love coming home and looking up at the black night sky with all the stars shining so brightly like silver sparkles.

I can('t) wait for my 4 nights down the beach with Raider in November where the sky is so black at night and there's a trillion more stars sparkling.

I finally got my results for my first assignment. I'm wondering why I'm doing this stupid degree. What do I really want? Just to prove that I can do what the lawyers at work do. That I'm just as good as them and not just some shitty secretary who does shitty work all day.

I'm really disappointed and somewhat annoyed at myself. Whilst I did proof read and thought I'd sorted out all my referencing.. there were too many referencing errors that cost me good marks. Stupid little things too. I did check, honestly I did.... but they were there, screaming at me. MISTAKES. Mistakes that cost me dearly. Mind you I adhered to the Style Guide for my footnoting which was wrong..... so I'm pissed off at that. I follow their instructions and hey, guess what, I'm wrong. I followed the examples given and nope, I should have followed the AGLC instead. Whatever. At least now I know for the future.

I achieved 28/40. 70%. Not good enough. I can do better and I'm disappointed. Especially where I see the areas I let myself down in. Stupid stupid stuff that have cost me. The way the uni grades work is that 70% is a credit. It's not a B. It's a bloody C. 75% or more is a Distinction (B). That is what I am aiming to achieve. At the moment I'm sitting on 73% overall. My next assignment is worth 55% which means I'll need to achieve probably 80% or more to achieve a Distinction overall in Legal Research and Writing. That's a bit of pressure to achieve. If I don't achieve it I'll be disappointed with myself. I'm not a C student. High school yes. University NO.

As for Legal Process, I doubt I'll be achieving a Distinction but I have to stay focused and positive. Maybe I can pull it off if I focus and really put in the effort.

Time to do that now.

Hound dog is on the floor beside my bed sleeping. I can hear his short heavy breaths. It's beautiful.
